Pattaya Floating Market

Pattaya Floating Market is located on the main Sukhumvit Road between South Pattaya Road and the junction to Chomthian (Jomtien) Beach Road. The area is quite big and it may take you about half a day to really go around it. I was there at around 2pm and it was really hot! Lets go through these photos and see if this place can be one of the places you should visit in Pattaya.
Operating hours: 8am-8pm, daily.

Is the floating market opened the whole day Lynn?

LYNN said...

Yeah, Monday to Sunday, 8am-8pm, but the boat service and flying fox run from 9am-6pm only.

Hi Lynn, would you recommend bringing small kids (age 2 & 4) to the floating market?

Pamela, there shouldn't be any problem at all;) I'm sure they'll enjoy the boat ride;)
